One option would be to change to 225 profile front tyres if you want to lower it and reduce any rubbing.

I have ET40 fronts with that profile wheel and tyre and i dont get rubbing, so i presume its the slight difference in the offset which is causing it.

Have just ordered this in staggered fir 18". Need to decide on rubber. Would have gone for the 19"s but rubbing issues already highlighted. Love the black wheel look and hope it goes OK with Titanium Silver. Pics when I get them fitted. :)
